Clay Mauritson is the sixth generation in a family of grape growers. Born and raised in the Dry Creek Valley, Clay was destined for the wine business.
In college Clay exhibited his prowess on the gridiron, playing outside linebacker for the University of Oregon Ducks in the 1995 Rose Bowl and the 1996 Cotton Bowl. Clay graduated in 1997 with a degree in Business Administration, with an emphasis in Marketing and a minor in Economics. Armed with his new degree he came back to Sonoma County to officially enter the wine industry.
Clay worked for 5 years at Kenwood Vineyards in the Sales & Marketing Department (starting even before he graduated from college), spending much of his time traveling and making sales contacts as Assistant National Sales Manager. After leaving Kenwood, Clay had the opportunity to work with the winemakers at Taft Street Vineyards and Dry Creek Vineyards, allowing him to hone his winemaking skills and gain additional knowledge of winery operations.
In 1998, Clay produced his first bottling of Dry Creek Zinfandel under the Mauritson label and, in 2002, he began devoting his efforts full-time to the Mauritson Family Winery project.
Clay's winemaking philosophy is simple: You need exceptional fruit to make exceptional wine. This is where the advantage of having a family heritage of grape growers becomes obvious: About 300 acres of Sonoma County family vineyards and strong relationships built over the years with other growers have given Clay access to some of the best fruit that Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley and Rockpile have to offer. Devoted to making exceptional wines, Clay is on his way to becoming one of California's foremost young winemakers.
Clay lives in Healdsburg with his wife Carrie-Anne, sons Brady and Davis, daughter Ella, and the family's two dogs, Eugene and Durban.

HOW IT WORKS:
Phase One - we get enough support to go forward. We take a non-refundable deposit - this is not the cost of the dinner approx. will hold your space. Should the dinner not hit the minimum - we will refund your purchase. Should the dinner continue, deposit is forfeited if you do not complete the registration.
Phase Two- we have reached enough reservations to go forward and have signed the agreement with the venue. Event is now rain or shine and no cancellation policy is enforced. We open 1 bottle per guest - maximum 15 guests/15 wines (minimum). We always aim to under promise and over deliver - and bring back of wines should we have an issue; but our policy is that corked wine can and does occur - see our policy - one bottle per paying guest, and price of dinner is not predicted on any one wine remain in place and are accepted at deposit.
For some events, we will offer companion tickets (please inquire - they maybe sold out at this time) (only available with a full price companion - you will share their wine)
Once we reach the minimum - we issue invoices that need to be paid inside of 48 hours. Deposit Price of the event includes tax but does not include service and 3.5% credit card fee.

All tickets (including deposits) are non-refundable. We can adjust your menu for dietary needs up to 72 hours prior without any additional cost. Wines can change without notice, failure or corked wines do not result in any type of credit or refund. We open one bottle minimum per paying guest, and can reduce the total number of bottles being opened so that the event does not have to cancel should ticket sales not reach potential. Fewer bottles will equal larger pours, so you will get the same quantity of wine and we always open the best wines for the quality of the event. Cancellation due to illness is understandable and appreciated, but does not qualify for a refund. If you are not well, you may ask for the food to be made available for togo or assign your seat to someone else without fee. The perishable nature of our product requires no cancellation, no credit, no refunds for any reason. Cost of ticketing fees and credit card fees are lost at purchase.
